It's not really a paradox. The only real paradox I can think of is the statement "Everything I say is a lie" or "This statement is false", and similar things (like "Every rule has an exception, except this one").

As I said in another post above, from the position of anything inside the universe, a perfect prediction of any other thing cannot be made. The more complex the system you're trying to predict, the harder it is to be accurate. When it comes to people, well, one system cannot contain an exact replica of another system the same size, so a person can't completely know another, and even if some super-person could completely know you, they couldn't completely know your enviroment, the rest of the universe, unless the universe were somehow a system smaller than themselves.

So basically, because of the basics laws of logic and the universe, which you have no choice in, everything has free will. So you have free will, whether you like it or not. :-)
